STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]
ORDER RE: PROTECTIVE ORDER

vs.

BABAK ROSHDIEH, M.D. CORP., et al.,
Defendants.

20

Pursuant to Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff Live Face

21

on Web, LLC (“Plaintiff” or “LFOW”), and Defendants Babak Roshdieh (“Roshdieh”) and

22

Babak Roshdieh, M.D. Corp. (“BRMD”) (Roshdieh and BRMD are, collectively,

23

“Defendant”), through counsel undersigned, jointly submit this Stipulated Protective Order

24

to govern the handling of information and materials produced in the course of discovery or

25

filed with the Court in this action;

26

1. PURPOSES, LIMITATIONS AND GOOD CAUSE.

27

1.1. Purpose and Limitations. Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely

28

to involve production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which

PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than

2

prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby

3

stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order.

4

The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all

5

disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public

6

disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled

7

to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further

8

acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective

9

Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local

10

Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will

11

be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

12

1.2. Good Cause Statement. It is the intent of the parties and the Court that information

13

will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons in this case and that

14

nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that there is good cause why it

15

should not be part of the public record of this case. Generally, information and

16

documents shall be designated where the Designating Party believes is proprietary,

17

confidential, and/or is trade secret, and which the Designating Party would not

18

publically release. Examples of confidential information that the parties may seek

19

to protect from unrestricted or unprotected disclosure include:
 Information that is the subject of a non-disclosure or confidentiality

20

agreement or obligation;

21

 The names, or other information tending to reveal the identity of a Party’s

22

supplier, designer, distributor, or customer;

23
24

 Agreements with third-parties;

25

 Research and development information;

26

 Proprietary engineering or technical information, including product design,

27

manufacturing techniques, processing information, drawings, memoranda and

28

reports;
2
PROTECTIVE ORDER
1

 Information related to budgets, sales, profits, costs, margins, product pricing,

1
2

or other internal financial/accounting information, including non-public

3

information related to financial condition or performance and income or other

4

non-public tax information;

5

 Information related to internal operations including personnel information;

6

 Information related to past, current and future product development;

7

 Information related to past, current and future market analyses and business

8

and marketing development, including plans, strategies, forecasts and

9

competition;
 Information related a treatment received by a specific patient (as applicable);

10

and,

11

 Trade secrets (as defined by the jurisdiction in which the information is

12

located).

13
14

Unrestricted or unprotected disclosure of such confidential, technical,

15

commercial or personal information would result in prejudice or harm to the

16

Designating Party by revealing the Designating Party’s competitive confidential

17

information, which has been developed at the expense of the Designating Party

18

and which represents valuable tangible and intangible assets of that party.

19

Additionally, privacy interests must be safeguarded. Accordingly, the parties

20

respectfully submit that there is good cause for the entry of this Protective Order.

21
22

2. DEFINITIONS.

23

2.1. Action: The above captioned federal lawsuit.

24

2.2. “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items: extremely sensitive

11
12

medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among

14

generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter.

appeared on behalf of that party.

28
4
PROTECTIVE ORDER
1

1

2.12. Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, employees,

2

consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their support

3

staffs).
2.13. Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery

4

Material in this action.

5

2.14. Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support services

6
7

(e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or demonstrations,

8

and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) and their

9

employees and subcontractors.
2.15. Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as

10

“CONFIDENTIAL,” or as “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

11

2.16. Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a

12

Producing Party.

13
14
15

3. SCOPE. The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only

16

Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted

17

from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of

18

Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties or

19

their Counsel that reveals Protected Material. Any use of Protected Material at trial

20

shall be governed by the orders of a trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of

21

Protected Material at trial.

22

3.1. Exclusions. The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the

23

following information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of

24

disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its

25

disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a violation of

26

this Order, including becoming part of the public record through trial or otherwise;

27

(b) any information known to the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained

28

by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who obtained the
5
PROTECTIVE ORDER
1

1

information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating

2

Party; and (c) any Protected Material that is disclosed at trial that was not afforded

3

protection by the trial judge.

4
5

4. DURATION. Consistent with the exclusions set forth in Section 3.1, even after final

6

disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this Order shall

7

remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order

8

otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all

9

claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment

10

herein after the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or

11

reviews of this action, including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for

12

extension of time pursuant to applicable law.

13
14

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL.

15

5.1. Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party or

16

Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must

17

take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the

18

appropriate standards. To the extent it is practical to do so, the Designating Party

19

must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral

20

or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material,

21

documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not

22

swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. Mass, indiscriminate, or

23

routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown to be clearly

24

unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily

25

encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary

26

expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions. If

27

it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it

28

designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all or do not qualify for the
6
PROTECTIVE ORDER
1

1

level of protection initially asserted, that Designating Party must promptly notify all

2

other parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken/inapplicable designation.

3

5.2. Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order

4

(see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2.1 below), or as otherwise stipulated or

5

ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this

6

Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

7

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

8

5.2.1. Documents: for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

9
10

proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or

11

“ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” to each page that contains protected material. If

12

only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the

13

Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by

14

making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion,

15

the level of protection being asserted.
5.2.2. Originals: A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials

16
17

available for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the

18

inspecting Party has indicated which material it would like copied and produced.

19

During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made

20

available for inspection shall be deemed “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After

21

the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced,

22

the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof,

23

qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified

24

documents, the Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend

25

(“CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY) to each page that

26

contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a

27

page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the

28
7
PROTECTIVE ORDER
1

1

protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and

2

must specify, for each portion, the level of protection being asserted.

3

5.2.3. Testimony: for testimony given in deposition that the Designating Party

4

identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, all protected testimony

5

and specify the level of protection being asserted. When it is impractical to

6

identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to protection and it

7

appears that substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for protection, the

8

Designating Party may invoke on the record (before the deposition, hearing, or

9

other proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 21 days to identify the

10

specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought and to specify

11

the level of protection being asserted. Only those portions of the testimony that

12

are appropriately designated for protection within the 21 days shall be covered

13

by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order.
5.2.4. Other items: for information produced in some form other than documentary

14
15

and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent

16

place on the exterior of the container or containers in which the information or

17

item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES

18

ONLY”. If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant

19

protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the

20

protected portion(s) and specify the level of protection being asserted.
5.3. Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to

21
22

designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the

23

Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.

24

Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable

25

efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this

26

Order.

27
28

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS.
8
PROTECTIVE ORDER
1

1

6.1. Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of

2

confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s scheduling Order.

3

Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality designation is

4

necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic

5

burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive

6

its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a

7

challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed. Any motion

8

challenging confidentiality designations pursuant to this paragraph must be brought

9

in strict compliance with Local Rules 37-1 and 37-2, in their entirety, including the
Joint Stipulation Requirement.

10

6.2. Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process

11
12

under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. by providing written notice of each designation it is

13

challenging and describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to

14

whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge

15

to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the

16

Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith

17

and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other

18

forms of communication are not sufficient) within 10 days of the date of service of

19

notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that

20

the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party

21

an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances,

22

and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen

23

designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge

24

process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that

25

the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a

26

timely manner.
6.3. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the

27

Designating Party. Frivolous challenges and those made for an improper purpose

28

9
PROTECTIVE ORDER
1

1

(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may

2

expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived

3

the confidentiality designation by failing to file an applicable motion (e.g. to retain

4

confidentiality), all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level

5

of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the

6

court rules on the challenge.

7
8

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL.
7.1. Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or

9
10

produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for

11

prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected

12

Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions

13

described in this Order. When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party

14

must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

15

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location

16

and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized

17

under this Order.
7.2. Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered

18
19

by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may

20

disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

21

7.2.1. the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as

22

employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably

23

necessary to disclose the information for this Action;
7.2.2. the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the

24
25

Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation

26

and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”

27

(Exhibit A);

28
10
PROTECTIVE ORDER
1

7.2.3. Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is

1
2

reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the

3

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

4

7.2.4. the court and its personnel;

5

7.2.5. court reporters and their staff;

6

7.2.6. professional jury or trial consultants, and Professional Vendors to whom

7

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the

8

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
7.2.7. the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian

9
10

or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;

11

7.2.8. during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is

12

reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and

13

Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the

14

Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition

15

testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be

16

separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone

17

except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
7.2.9. Any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, mutually

18

agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.

19

7.2.10.

20

The parties’ insurance carriers and representatives thereof.

7.3. Disclosure of “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items. Unless

21
22

otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a

23

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated “ATTORNEYS’

24

EYES ONLY” only to:

25

7.3.1. the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as

26

employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably

27

necessary to disclose the information for this Action;

28
11
PROTECTIVE ORDER
1

7.3.2. Experts of the Receiving Party (1) to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary

1
2

for this litigation, and (2) who have signed the “Acknowledgment and

3

Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A) as well as employees and agents of said

4

Experts, provided that said employees and agents sign the “Acknowledgments

5

and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

6

7.3.3. the court and its personnel;

7

7.3.4. court reporters and their staff;

8

7.3.5. professional jury or trial consultants, and Professional Vendors to whom
disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the

9

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

10

7.3.6. the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian

11

or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; and

12

7.3.7. Any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, mutually

13

agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.

14
15
16

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN

17

OTHER LITIGATION. If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in

18

other litigation that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this

19

action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” that Party must: (a)

20

promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a copy

21

of the subpoena or court order; (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the

22

subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered

23

by the subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall

24

include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and (c) cooperate with respect to all

25

reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected

26

Material may be affected.

27

8.1. Right to Seek Protective Order. If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective

28

order, the Party served with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any
12
PROTECTIVE ORDER
1

1

information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’

2

EYES ONLY” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or

3

order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The

4

Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that

5

court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be

6

construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a

7

lawful directive from another court.

8
9

9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN
THIS LITIGATION.

10
11

9.1. The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in

12

this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES

13

ONLY”. Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this

14

litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in

15

these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking

16

additional protections.

17

9.2. In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a Non-

18

Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an

19

agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential

20

information, then the Party shall: (a) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party

21

and the Non-Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a

22

confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party; (b) promptly provide the Non-Party

23

with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant

24

discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the information

25

requested; and (c) make the information requested available for inspection by the

26

Non-Party.
9.3. If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14

27

days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party

28

13
PROTECTIVE ORDER
1

1

may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery

2

request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall

3

not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the

4

confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.

5

Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and

6

expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

7
8

10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL. If a Receiving

9

Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected Material to

10

any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order,

11

the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the

12

unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of

13

the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized

14

disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or

15

persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached

16

hereto as Exhibit A.

17
18

11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

19

PROTECTED MATERIAL. When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving

20

Parties that certain inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or

21

other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal

22

Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever

23

procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production

24

without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e),

25

insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication

26

or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the

27

parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to

28

the court.
14
PROTECTIVE ORDER

12. MISCELLANEOUS.
12.1. Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to

3

seek its modification by the court in the future.

4

12.2. Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order

5
6

no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or

7

producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated

8

Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use

9

in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
12.3. Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected

10
11

Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5.2.2. Protected Material may only

12

be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific

13

Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will

14

issue only upon a request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is

15

privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the

16

law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to

17

Civil Local Rule 79-5.2 is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the

18

Protected Material in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

19
20

13. FINAL DISPOSITION. Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as

21

defined in paragraph 4, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the

22

Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected

23

Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format

24

reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material

25

is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the

26

Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the

27

60-day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected

28

Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not

1

retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing

2

or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are

3

entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and

4

hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits,

5

expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if

6

such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or

7

constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in

8

Section 4 (DURATION).

9

14. REMEDIES. Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate

10

measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary

11

sanctions.
